Indiana Draws Heavy Week 4 Betting as Ohio State Lands 82% of Spread Bets

3 articles · Updated · FOX Sports · Sep 24

Summary

  • Indiana opened as a 22.5-point favorite over Northwestern and slipped to -21, but Caesars still reports mostly Hoosiers action despite the defending champions starting 0-3 against the spread.
  • Ohio State also remains a public favorite: DraftKings trimmed the Buckeyes from -27.5 to -26.5 against Illinois while 82% of spread bets and 77% of spread money backed Ohio State.
  • Florida’s line against No. 4 Ole Miss moved from -2.5 to -3.5 even as most tickets came in on the Rebels, a reverse-action pattern tied to home-field value and Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacey’s shoulder issue.
  • Texas-Tennessee has produced some of the wildest movement, opening Texas -5, dipping to -3.5, rebounding to -5.5 and settling near -4, with books expecting larger late wagers after one bettor staked $76,900 on Tennessee moneyline +175.
  • Across the broader Week 4 board, Caesars sees LSU drawing support at -8.5 vs. Texas A&M, more Iowa interest against Michigan, and heavy Over betting in Oregon-USC even as sharper money leans Under.
